This book makes me want to break out my old Nancy Drew collection and start reading mysteries again. I like the twists and turns without the gut wrenching, nightmare inducing scariness factor of some suspense books. This could almost be chick lit if it weren’t a mystery. It was a fun read that kept my mind challenged with the possibilities but was off the wall enough to not freak me out. Not only is there the mystery inherent in the title, this is the story of a group of friends on vacation and all the crazy things that happen to them in of all places the town of Calamity. Aptly named if their experiences are any indication. The story also addresses questions of faith, trust, and contentment among others. Many of the characters have their own personal internal struggles going on while at the same time playing one or more roles in the calamitous craziness of Calamity’s busiest weekend. There’s even a hint of romance in the air amidst all the rest that takes place on this unforgettable trek of the Bargain Hunters Network (BHN). Read this and the previous book Death of a Garage Sale Newbie to meet and get to know these women and have a glimpse into their lives. I may just have to go find me a copy of the first book and will be impatiently looking for future books featuring these amateur sleuths.

About the Book:
Another murder mystery for the Bargain Hunters Network–only this time, one of them is a suspect!
Ginger and her husband, Earl, are in for a wild ride in Calamity, Nevada, along with the other BHN ladies–college student Kindra, mother-of-four Suzanne, and sassy senior Arleta. They came to town for the Invention Expo and some outlet shopping, but instead they endure lost luggage, broken air conditioning, and a long line of people angry at hotel owner Dustin Clydell. With the Invention Expo and the Squirrel Lovers’ convention both in town, the Wind-Up Hotel has somehow overbooked.
Before the night is over, a man has been found dead in a teddy bear costume, the Invention Expo has been canceled, Binky the water-skiing squirrel has gone missing…and the authorities want to talk to one of the BHN ladies! What else could possibly go wrong?
Once again, the Bargain Hunters Network swings into sleuth mode to solve the murder–and this time, clear one of their own. Along the way, Ginger discovers something even better than a bargain.
